Shotguns for Cloakers, I say no, you?

[VanuVirus]

Okay, watching the faction weapons webcast, they said this thread would be here, so I'm ensuring they know the future, because I want them to look into their crystal ball there at SOE and tell me that shotguns on a cloaker is smart.

I am a former cloaker, and at this point, I'd love it, but hate it. There's plenty of pros and cons...

Pros:
One-shot kills of other cloakers.
Serious damage to infantry in close quarters.

Cons:
Loud noise, draws lots of attention.
Slow reload and almost entire loss of cloak.

These are just what I thought up right now... I'm sure there's more. Let's elaborate, and each weigh in on how well this would work.

There are also suppressed shotguns.

What are they thinking

[DayOne]

OH NOES!

I vote "uhm, no" it'll be overpowered on snowy conts.

I vote we wait and see how it turns out. They said they where playing with it still. As in they might or might not give them shotguns.


With that said,If they do it right I have no problems with it.

IDK about you all, but I might just have to try cloaking out so I can use my silenced shotgun with it's 8X zoom scope.

[SUBARU]

Its like putting a 12 mm gun on the Phantasm.That didnt work out to well

OP class? Barely.

I thought the cloaker was just pleased to see me

[Myomoto]

Sounds sweet. I don't see any reason to not let a cloaker carry a shotgun. If they're already giving them sniper rifles, the shotgun would seem like a logical next step.

[DaddyTickles]

Lets just see how it pans out.

Let's not all stick our thumbs in our mouths and wait... You know, collaborative thought, it's a wonderful thing when it's used properly. I also noticed that my Pros and Cons do kind of outweigh each other, but honestly, this might be taking away some of the difficulty and skill it takes to be a moderately good ninja.

I don't like your poll options. You need, "Let's wait and try it first".
